Two Mommy’s and Me

Most of my friends have a Mommy and Daddy, And just like me they are probably happy. But I am lucky, you see, with two Mommy’s and me, We do lots of fun stuff, just us three.

We run on the beach, we walk on the pier We build sandy castles with shell souvenirs We look for whales, we hide from sharks We also are known to have picnics in parks.

On those drab rainy days we paint, sing or color Or perhaps we’ll read books, to make me a scholar. Of course, gloomy days are good for naps too Or maybe we’ll make a new craft with some glue.

My Mommy’s love holidays, that much is clear Christmas is favored with snow and good cheer. We decorate our house from top to bottom And usually start at the first sign of Autumn.

They tuck me in and wake me up They pour me orange juice in a cup They help me brush my teeth and hair And help me pick out what to wear.

They cook me dinner and breakfast too They even take me to the zoo. We ride our bikes and play with chalk They always listen when I talk.

I love my Mom’s an awful lot And hope that you, my dear, were taught That you may have a Mommy, and also a Daddy But that is no reason for treating me badly I am lucky, you see, with two Mommy’s and me Because it’s love that makes a family.
